Imagine you are a developer. You once made a site that you were so proud of, you now wish you could replicate it for all your clients.
What if you could make a quick copy of that hero site, and then tweak it to suit your new clients’ needs?
With the latest feature brought to you by our hardworking Engineering Team—Copy Site—you can do just that!
What is Copy Site?
Copy Site is a new feature that allows you to create multiple copies of your existing production sites.
- Copy Site allows you to copy one site over to another existing site.
- There is also an Add option that allows you to create a new install that is a replica of an existing site.
The result is similar to a staging environment. But instead of being limited to two fixed environments (staging and production), WP Engine’s customers can now make use of multiple environments.
What Can Copy Sites Do?
Copy Site aims to ease all sorts of workflows. For example, starting a new site from a full copy—or strawman copy of a site you already own—is much faster than starting from scratch. Or, you may want more than just one testing environment.
For the full list of what you can and can’t do with Copy Site, please check out the Copy Site Article in our Support Garage.
Who Can Use Copy Site?
Copy Site is particularly aimed at site developers and business owners who need to own, create, and manage multiple sites on their account.
The number of environments you can use will depend on how many installs are allowed in your plan and how many copies you make.
Here are the finer details:
- Personal accounts include one site. (You have the option of purchasing one extra site.)
- Professional customers have access to up to 10 sites.
- Business accounts include up to 25 sites.
- Premium and Enterprise accounts have unlimited access to Copy Sites.*
* Access varies per custom plan.
